OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

I'm taking the following points: (0,8) and (9,2) Let slope = m \[m = \frac{2-8}{9-0} = \frac{-6}{9} = -\frac{2}{3}\]

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Of course, you can pick other points if you like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8 or -1 or -2/3 or -3/-2

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

-2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh and what about the old one Which of the following is equivalent to a slope of -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont get it :(

OpenStudy (kira_yamato):

Take a pair of points lying on the line first. Note their coordinates. If I were to pick the points (a,b) and (c,d) where a,b,c,d are just some values, then calculate the value of \[\frac{b-d}{a-c}\] If the value of the above expression is -4, then your slope is is equivalent to -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bleh I am guessing L3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I should of read the lesson
